Default TCU location/removal?

This is separate from the ECU, correct? Just asking as I'm looking into the VAST tip chip and know I'll need to remove the TCU.
I did "search" first, but the engine won;t recognize TCU as a search term...
Thanks guys,
Jeremy

very easy. Did it several times in under or about 30 Minutes.
Vast has instructions they can email you too. Ask kurt or prince. Prince can even walk you thru the process on the phone. Email me if you have trouble with it. A6biturbo@gmail.Com
Now you should expect the possibility of braking one to all of the tabs on the metal box that contains the TCU once you've bent them once to open the box. No buggy. You can use electrical tape for example to hold it more secure but it is in a bigger plastic box anyway. Enjoy the chip.
